Employing an engineering process known as electro spinning, Rachael produced a series of 'bioresorbable' polymer scaffolds, which can be surgically implanted to hold tissue together, helping cells repair and re-grow...

... diabetes--an autoimmune disease in which the body loses its ability to make insulin due to destruction of islets. Islets are clusters of cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, a hormone the body requires to use glucose (sugar) as a source of energy. This is different from the more common Type 2 diabe...

... prognosis because the heart's upper right chamber loses its ability to pump blood to the lungs. According to researchers, although treatment of PH is advancing, adverse effects occur with the medications that treat it. Most patients continue to have symptoms, reduced physical abilities and reduced qualit...

...d that type 2 diabetes--which occurs when the body loses the ability to respond to the insulin that converts glucose into energy--may contribute to sleep problems. Kristen L. Knutson, Ph.D., of the University of Chicago, and colleagues conducted a study of 161 African-Americans with type 2 diabetes, inclu...

...ts signals from the brain. An injured spinal cord loses its ability to regenerate myelin-forming cells, leading to paralysis. Fehlings showed that where stem cells restored myelin in the injured spine, rats showed some recovery and walked with more coordination. One new aspect demonstrated by the study is...

...nset of Alzheimer's, probably because as the brain loses insulin, the cells that require insulin to function and survive also eventually die. The consequences are increased oxidative stress, brain deterioration, loss of cognitive function, and a buildup of plaques and tangles in the brain all hallmarks of...
